I know. It is not like President Trump has ever insulted anyone or called them names.

(Actually, it pretty that US politics have come to this)

People have been making fun of Trump's hair for as long as I can remember.

Remember the flak that Fallon caught when he tousled Trump's hair. People were outraged that Fallon "humanized" him.

BTW, ever watch a Trump rally? Trump can be funny. He even uses self-deprecating humor at times.

Boris Johnson is absolutely hilarious. Personally, and of course this is subjective, but I would say he's far wittier and funnier than Trump, and would make a fantastic dinner guest. As a Prime Minister? Disastrous.

Not, it should be added, because of his policies particulary, but of because of how he tried to lead and how he acted, and because of some of the people he appointed, and because of his own awful ambition.

The mistake they made was not embracing it. Vance should have ran with “they think that standing up for parenthood and monogamous marriages is weird? Then damn straight, I’m weird. They are used to politicians that sell out, that look out for their own self interests. Look at the majority of Congress. That’s normal, to them I am weird, and glad to be so…” DEI, gender fluidity, thinking all non-bipoc people are racist, believing merit is racist… That’s normal today. So damn straight, I’m weird.

100%.

Even if Vance runs with it, will Trump go along? Can you imagine Trump admitting that his ticket is weird?

[George K]

One person's normal is another person's weird, amirite?

Make America Weird Again.

Speaking of weird, did anybody see the story about RFK Jnr. cutting off a whale's head and taking it home?

I'm guessing he saw a placard saying 'Save the Whale' and just totally misunderstood the whole thing

I figured he had skeletons in his closet, but, really now...

You know, Weird As F should become a slogan.

They need to lean into this as hard as Deplorable in 16.

“Do you think having kids is good and can help make you a better person and leader? They think you’re weird. Do you believe as Martin Luther King Jr that a man or woman should be judged on the content of their character and not on their skin color, they think you are Weird as Fuck. If you think that parents are responsible for their children’s medical and physical health decisions and not the 4th grade social studies teacher, they think you are Weird as Fuck.

They’re neither smart enough nor disciplined enough for that.

Frum said it when the meme first stuck - the way you counter ‘weird’ is not by showing pictures of drag queens. It’s by talking about roads, jobs, etc.

Regardless of whether the GOP has optimally responded to the "weird" rhetoric, it will not age well, and it will leave the left open to an easy slam dunk when they trot out their drag queens in public libraries talking to children sorts of things. The "weird" rhetoric also quite nicely allows subscribers to the dominant political leftist culture of the day to self-select as psychologically conservative, if not historically so.

At least he didn’t go into their locker room and watch them change.

That's all ya got?

Vance uses an internet meme heard round the world and you're making dumbass comments about the locker room?

Geez, it's gonna be fun if Trump wins this thing. After you come out of mourning, of course...
